Properties and observations · source text
Polymerizes at temperatures higher than the self-accelerating polymerization temperature or in a fire. Burns vigorously. Immiscible with water. Contact with alkalis or acids may cause dangerous polymerization. The products of combustion or self-accelerating polymerization may be toxic by inhalation. Control and emergency temperatures can be found in the transport document as required in 5.4.1.5.5. The temperature must be checked regularly.

For the purposes of documentation and package marking, the proper shipping name shall be supplemented with the technical name (see 3.1.2.8.1). For UN 3077 and UN 3082 only, the technical name may be a name shown in capital letters in column 2 of the Dangerous Goods List, provided that this name does not include “N.O.S.” and that special provision 274 is not assigned. The name which most appropriately describes the substance or mixture shall be used, e.g.: UN 3082, ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S.

When substances are stabilized by temperature control, the provisions of 7.3.7 apply. When chemical stabilization is employed, the person offering the packaging, IBC or tank for transport shall ensure that the level of stabilization is sufficient to prevent the substance in the packaging, IBC or tank from dangerous polymerization at a bulk mean temperature of 50°C, or, in the case of a portable tank, 45°C. Where chemical stabilization becomes ineffective at lower temperatures within the anticipated duration of transport, temperature control is required. In making this determination factors to be taken into consideration include, but are not limited to, the capacity and geometry of the packaging, IBC or tank and the effect of any insulation present, the temperature of the substance when offered for transport, the duration of the journey and the ambient temperature conditions typically encountered in the journey (considering also the season of year), the effectiveness and other properties of the stabilizer employed, applicable operational controls imposed by regulation (e.g. requirements to protect from sources of heat, including other cargo transported at a temperature above ambient) and any other relevant factors.

⚠ The marine pollutant (MP) status must be determined from the actual consignment: this is a generic N.O.S. entry, and no "P" in column 4 of the Index does not exclude applicability (2.10.2.4). Per 2.10.2.5, if the consignment meets the marine pollutant criteria of 2.9.3 it must be carried as a marine pollutant with the MP mark.
